Making my New Dawn and North American look mediocre I give praise to you bro...... Bringing us such routes as Scorched Earth, The Shortest Straw, Sea of Dreams, and (ouch) (damn)......Jolly Roger !!!!!! We give you credit where credit is due. NOT A RETARD we all should know that ! So thanks for the pictures, and ect.... CLIMB ON MASTER !!!!

PTPP be da man. I fully endorse him as the Perfect Wall Climber, especially as a partner. He has too much patience for his own good, and will put up with all manner of Gumbyesque behavior. Plus, he has his systems down. The idea of dedicated lockers for each and every thing works very well. Now then, if I can just clean as fast as he leads A3+, we'll be OK.

I have some PTPP cams that were slightly damaged in the Cratered Pig Incident. RARE! Two #9 Valley Giant Old School given to PTPP after Excalibur. These cams were given to PTPP for his "guiding services", and later had the trigger wires bent to schnitt when the Amazing Flying Whale fell 800 feet off Scorched Earth. They have been fixed by the original manufacturer, and are certified as being Near New. Buy now, before they get posted to eBay.

However, the Doc works cheaply and some of those who have thus far made the investment to schlep a pig or offer a beer have found their investment returned many-fold, especially if they were looking to learn a few rigging tricks or how to solve a big wall problem.

However I have learned recently I have left at least one person a bit disappointed, and I appreciated him letting me know. It was unintentional. Sometimes I spread myself a bit too thinly, and that was evidently one of those times.

Although I will be making a formal announcement later, you can mark your calendars for Saturday May 24 in Camp 5, Curry Village.

Caveat:

On those rare occasions when Dr. Piton chooses to w*rk [sorry, not part of my vocabulary] he is known to sell investments in the stock market. Investment performances may fluctuate, and it is safe to say that a few of my clients are more than a little disappointed and have complained. Fortunately I build redundancy into every system, and have only sold Segregated Funds which guarantee the capital.

As far as Mini-Big Wall Tutorials are concerned, most "clients" have told me they benefited, so I figure that's pretty good, considering the monumental favours I am known to ask.

"Greater love hath none than this - that he pick up a pig for his friend."

Yeah, Pete is good people. I never took the opportunity to touch his butt, however did enjoy touching the butt of one of his consenting female wall partners. A little more Baileys and she would have offered to touch a little more as well.

Unfortunately I won't be there to schlep in May due to the fact that I don't hold residence in the Valley and won't be permitted to hold said residence until mid-August. But in October, it's on.

If you dont have anything nice to say ...........! There is enough negative enegry around so why add to it? I think it strange that a person who quotes Nietzsche also talks about their astrological sign (seems selective eh). I dont think anyone here claimed Pete was a sacred painting or religious master etc. We are just giving him credit for all the work he does. HEY PETE THANKS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK. I LOVE YOUR POSTS. By the way Nietzsche was against pollitically correct phrases like "false icon". For Nietzsche Truth is subjective, " Truth is the Greatest Error."

That's funny. I heard that with the right enticement, the good doctor might be persuaded to give a few private lessons?? Anybody else hear about that?? Something about ..........

In reply to:

Note: I climb solo because I can. However, were a shagadelic hottie with a heart of passion, a lust for adventure, and the courage to stand behind her convictions approach me with a reasonable offer, I just might be convinced to share my ledge.... Generally speaking, though, this is next to impossible, as I am extremely selective with my partners. The "plain vanilla" need not apply.

You salty dogs! I make a living on the big blue but My hats off to the Good Dr. Pitons. He has made me realize I solo not because I have no friends but because 1. I can and 2. I am bitchin! (said as I look in to the mirror and force a fake smile)

I have read over 100 pages of this guys work, Yes Thanks Brother! Thank You Much, Bill
